What do your problems and the spies that we are told God sent into the Promised Land have in common?  For that matter, what does a book written fifty years ago by Allen Dulles, the first civilian director of the CIA, tell us about God’s spies and the reason they were sent into the Promised Land?  The answer, in both cases, is quite a bit. 

If you are going through trials at this time, or if you are just  somewhat intrigued by these questions regarding the story in the thirteenth chapter of the Book of Numbers, check out the new short article “Why the Spies? Your Trials and God’s Tests” uploaded to our Strategic Understanding page today.  It may give you something to think about, and perhaps some encouragement, too.
